CCJ Judicial Shuffle Amid Bias Claims | Trinidad and Tobago News

The Caribbean Court of Justice just overhauled its judicial panel system—now all seven judges, including the President, must sit on every case unless excused, aiming for greater consistency and efficiency. But this shake-up comes amid serious allegations: judges reportedly complain the President runs the court authoritatively, citing dress code rules, “panel fixing,” and meddling in case outcomes. An independent review is underway as lawyers for Guyana’s Opposition Leader demand the President be excluded from their case until bias concerns are addressed. The move follows the CCJ’s controversial ruling against the Mohameds—a decision that sparked threats of legal action and raised eyebrows after reports of the President’s past political entanglements. Some legal experts question whether this reform is a strategic response to public pressure—or a genuine step toward judicial integrity.
